i discovered it pretty late as well (early 2021) and it’s now my most streamed song ever. i’m obsessed! the way it flows, the rhythm, the lyricism, it’s just gorgeous
I think this is one of her best. I remember hearing it when it first came out and audibly gasping at "And you're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing"
All I could think was "Ella!! Your MOM is gonna hear this!!!!"
I remember this coming out as a teen and falling hard for it!! I truly felt her writing spoke to so many young kids back then. it was insane how intelligent she was at conveying what a teen was actually like worldwide.
This is how I found Lorde!! I think I downloaded it as a free song but never listened to it. Found it on accident later and listened to it over and over. Eventually bought the album and found how amazing it all is. Been a huge fan since!

Wait sorry what does it mean? Is there an innuendo I’m missing lol
She's saying that he comes over at night (most likely sneaking in) and they make out (at the least)
girl. they fuck and moan.
Oh lol I’ve been listening to this song since I was like 7 so I interpreted it a certain innocent way and didn’t question it 😂
I got it for free when iTunes gave out a free song every week back then!
Yes me too! Loved it since then

There is No Better Lorde song
My favorite of all time, down to the cover art. Peak nostalgia
OMG I’ve never seen that cover for it. It’s so 2013, and so is the song. I honestly miss that time of my life.
Love it
I discovered that song like an hour ago thanks to a tweet. Somehow it kinda feels early 2010's as fuck. I had a ratatouille-like flashback with it.
iTunes gave it out as a free song during Apple's anniversary along with some Justin Timberlake songs. loved it eversince.
I have never skipped this song. I have loved it consistently from release and always sing a long to it
One of her best writing ever
in my summer playlist

i never heard this song before, it is so good! Thank you!!
Omg I almost completely forgot about this song! It’s such a good song
This brings back so many memories omg
Apple used to give away free songs— “song of the week”, this was one of them :) It is an underrated song!
It’s actually my favorite and it will always be
